During our two hour interview, by the way, I specifically invited him to explain his use of the term, "mastermind". In my opinion, he has it exactly right--and we have abundant corroborating evidence from Madeleine, Billy Sol, Barr and E. Howard Hunt.
From #13 above, from which let us discuss this distillation:
we have abundant corroborating evidence from . . . E. Howard Hunt
In 2008 I was very excited to hear Saint John Hunt discussing his new book with George Noory on the Coast to Coast AM program. I ordered the ebook of BOND OF SECRECY by Saint John Hunt, downloaded as a pdf file, printed it, punched it, put it in page protectors in its own three-ring binder.
I wrote Saint John Hunt a five-page Word Document email of which the better part of two pages was typographical corrections. I can sense the youthful exuberance and the personal history living the Miami Vice cum Scarface lifestyle of an earlier era.
I noted to Saint John Hunt and I have consistently maintained that E. Howard Hunt in BOND OF SECRECY makes a loyal deathbed deflection. The career Agency man attempts with his last breath to deflect blame from his mother Agency.
I had earlier read Mark Lane, PLAUSIBLE DENIAL: Was the CIA Involved in the Assassination of JFK? Published in 1991, it depicts a Hunt under oath failing to present a consistent and credible alibi for his whereabouts on November 22, 1963. Lane, an attorney, developed what I deem adequate detail to show Hunt to be dancing around an inconvenient fact.
In Mark Lane, LAST WORD: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK, the attorney reprises relevant waypoints he's established between his RUSH TO JUDGMENT, 1966, and his latest work, this year, concluding with an indictment satisfying the requirements for a grand jury to be called.
I note that Hunt has written 41 novels, 24 under the name of Hunt, 3 under an RD, 3 under a PSD, 5 under a DSJ, 5 under a GD, and one under a JB nom de plume.
I submit that BOND OF SECRECY is another work of fiction by a career intelligence officer who has participated in regime change and assassination the whole of his career.
That his saying so is not "abundant corroboration" for anything beyond the fact that he can write.
In his GIVE US THIS DAY, 1973, he attempts to lay down a basis for rage at betrayal; in my view a rather truer line of reasoning for the assassination than his 2005 novel with its suggestion of French gunman on the Grassy Knoll and the interim position of Cord Meyer the cuckold.
Bay of Pigs--JFK was so angry at the CIA's lies he fired Allen Dulles after eight years of shaping the Agency, in the year JFK dedicated the new Langley headquarters for which Dulles had campaigned. Dulles reaction is to bring the novelist and operative close for the two-year project of a memoir punctuated with the death of the departing DCI's nemesis and the former's naming to the commission of inquiry.
LBJ's function was to create the Commission, a concept which did not arise with either Johnson or Hoover. To later name Helms the DCI, in 1966, though it was merely a public recognition of the status quo.
Hunt served Helms on the Watergate mission which sabotaged Nixon. Ford had served Hoover, and would bring in Rockefeller to protect CIA, then name GHWBush to DCI January 1976 for a year of preparation for the HSCA.
That this Bush was that referred to in Hoover's memo of November 29, 1963, is far more likely than that it was the low-level G. William Bush, the shore analyst 1963-4 who was deposed under oath stating no intelligence agency had briefed him on the Assassination.
After March 1968 when he imitated Duran's "No mas, no mas," Johnson was on the ash heap. He'd fallen for Cronkite's wailing following Tet, or he'd found a horse's head in the bedclothes. 1968, the year of sweeping out the obstacles to Nixon.
Why indeed did Nixon send Haldeman to Helms with the Bay of Pigs threat. Why the erased tape. Helms had the upper hand. Nixon did as Khrushchev did in October 1964 when Brezhnev said Doves were out of style, "I am old; I will go."
Hoover, Johnson, Nixon, the trip-wire for the Agency. The mob--that job was given to Blakey after Sprague got the treatment, the decade after FBI/CIA dispatched ten moles and four defense attorneys and a teletype machine to New Orleans, Helms inquiring about "our people down there."
Helms. CIA. "our people."
